Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

You forgot "great man theory" (i.e. any criticism of Putin or Xi) and "horseshoe theory" (i.e. any indication that left wing violence is bad).

God, I'm just so genuinely happy to see someone use the word, "Tankie," properly. A shocking number of people on .world seem to think anyone left of Joe Biden is a Tankie.

the war machines
it was something about who defended the USSR rolling tanks into a country to get it into the USSR or smth

It's always really sad to see otherwise good leftist ideals held back by ML campist brain rot tbh.
It's much easier I find in .ml to just ignore the tankies tbh. Though the bingo sheet is admittedly, very funny.
